500.00 for the onbaord starter?

Edge 540 Scale
 

Yes, a bit expensive isn't it.

Sure is, I guess I'll have to start exercising the fingers but every time I sit back and imagine myself fliping a switch to turn the prop I want it even more :).

When I ran the 210, that is the only way I ever started it. and that is the reason for the disc brakes to hold it back when I remotely start it.

Most people dont go complete scale with the edge or other aerobat b/c it adds weight increasing wing load and you end up with a airplane that flies like a warbird. YUCK!! But to each his own :)

Your right, but the difference here is that this Edge is so light to begin with, and besides, I'm not into 3D. When fully decked out it will be very competetive in the IMAC class still.

I'll be using this aircraft as a promotional tool for my company and for ACM also.

Do any of you guys know of anyone or any biz that makes other mufflers for the 3w engines On Rick’s edge he had to cut some holes in the front of the cowl to accommodate the chambers of the mufflers. I don't want to do that and need some ideas or different muffler setups to get around it.

Can you not use some of the canister mufflers on the market where the bulk of the mufflers would be inside the fuselage.

The other thing that I think can be done is simply cut off the part that would protrude and reweld it.

Just a thought.

Edge 540 Scale
 

Oh good idea on the cut and reweld luckily I know someone who can handle that. I'm not sure about canisters Im going to talk to Rick about that tonight.

I'm calling DA today for a no BS assessment on the DA200 availability.

Ok got the info, right now because of their move to a new facility and the R&D still going on to make this engine ready for mass production she won't be available till the end of the year so look for it sometime in Jan-March.
